Not a Promise but an Assurance of Result

It is weird to say that this was my best surgical experience. My first destination surgery. I never thought I would travel to have a major surgery done. BUT I am happy I found Dr. Alan Gonzalez and took the best decision after seeing him on my first consultation . He gave me peace of mind. I can say I felt so safe always with the nurse on my side in and out of the hospital. The staff is amazing. Each one of them with an important roll marvelously performed. Luis, Daniela, Mayra, Dra. Veronica, Diana. All of them made feel at home. THANK YOU.

The Best Choice of my Life

After 13 years of having breast implants, I made the decision to remove them. My symptoms were subtle things I had quietly normalized over the years like brain fog, forgetfulness, anxiety, low libido, acne, morning allergies, and hair loss. They weren’t extreme, but they were little reminders that my body was asking for deeper care. Over time, my lifestyle and values shifted, and having plastic inside my body no longer felt in alignment with who I truly am. Choosing explant surgery became an act of reclaiming my health, my clarity, and my connection to myself. My experience with Dr. Alan and his team has been beyond anything I imagined. From the very first call through surgery and now three weeks post-op, I’ve felt completely supported! I discovered Dr. Alan early in my search for explant surgeons. His Instagram and YouTube videos gave me so much confidence, and when a friend shared that he had done her surgery as well, I knew in my heart he was the one. From my first video consultation, his calm, caring energy gave me total peace about traveling from Miami to Barranquilla for the procedure. His team guided me every step of the way! Diana with scheduling and the pre-op requirements, the nutritionist with pre- and post-op guidance, and the anesthesiologist who took time to explain every detail days before surgery. On surgery day, Nurse Angela welcomed me with such a calming presence, and when Dr. Alan walked in, radiating joy, to mark my breasts, I felt his loving energy, warmth, and deep respect. I knew I was in the very best hands. My post-op recovery was very gentle, I experienced absolutely no pain or nausea and I felt cared for in every moment. From the 24-hour nurse who lovingly supported me to the daily visits with sweet Nurse Lore for red light therapy, lymphatic massages, incision care, and IV vitamin infusions, every step was filled with care. Dr. Veronica continued my post-op visits with such kindness and clarity, making the process feel so safe and held. Even now, back home, the team continues to check in on me, and I feel fully supported in my healing journey. I hold deep gratitude for Dr. Alan, whose life’s work helps women heal, transform, and come back to the fullness of who they are. To any woman considering an explant, trust your heart and know that freedom, healing, and coming home to your body is the most beautiful gift you can give yourself. And with Dr. Alan, you will be in the most loving and capable hands.

Best Decision Ever!

I recently had an explantation procedure with Dr. Alan Gonzalez and his team, and I truly cannot say enough positive things about my experience. From the very beginning, the level of care, professionalism, and compassion I received was outstanding. Dr. Gonzalez is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also incredibly kind and patient. He took the time to explain every step of the process, making sure I felt informed and comfortable throughout the entire journey. A special thank you to my amazing nurse, Mayra Ortiz, who was with me every step of the way. She made everything so smooth from scheduling and pre-op guidance to post-op follow-up and was always available to answer questions or provide reassurance. The aftercare has been just as exceptional as the surgery itself. Dr. Gonzalez and his team continue to check in on me, and it’s clear they truly care about their patients' well-being and recovery. I’m so grateful to have had such a supportive, professional, and compassionate team during this process. Highly recommend Dr. Gonzalez and his incredible staff!

Exceeded My Expectations

For many years I searched for a Plastic Surgeon that had the best outcomes for breast reduction surgeries. I finally found Dr Alan Gonzalez, and while that took me 7 years to finally make my decision, that was worth the wait. Scheduling my consult was so easy. During the virtual consult the Surgeon was extremely informative and answered all my questions and concerns. Once the surgery was scheduled, his team made sure that I was informed of the process, and I had everything needed for the success of my procedure. Throughout my process I felt prioritized and safe. I felt so comfortable with their care that I decided to do some cosmetic procedures and so far I love the results. I would highly recommend Dr Gonzalez and Care Me 360 for all cosmetic and plastic procedures.

Maha Shoukry

Had an Amazing Experience

Hello, I'm Maha Shoukry. I'm of Saudi and Colombian descent and have lived in Egypt for most of my life. This June marked 10 years with my implants, and after much contemplation, I decided to have them removed. Initially, I didn't think I had any symptoms, but through extensive research and consultations, I concluded that removal was the best choice. I received recommendations for Dr. Alan Gonzalez and, after thorough research, chose to proceed with him for my implant removal. A bit over a month and a half ago, I underwent the surgery, and I can only express my amazement. I'm breathing more freely now, without constant chest pressure, and I feel truly relieved. Dr. Alan and his team have been exceptional from the start. From my first online appointment, I felt confident in my decision. The care provided by his entire team, including the nutritionist, anesthesiologist, and nurses, was outstanding. They guided me throughout the process, offered immense comfort, and answered all my questions and concerns. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Alan Gonzalez to anyone considering implant removal. He is simply the best. I feel incredibly happy and grateful for the outcome, and I'm proud to have made this decision for myself and my wellbeing.

Life Changing Experience

I chose Dr. Alan Gonzalez for my breast implant removal and reconstruction due to Breast Implant Illness (Asian Syndrome), and it was the best decision I’ve made for my health. From the very first consultation, Dr. Gonzalez listened without judgment, explained everything clearly, and made me feel completely supported. The surgery went smoothly, and the results are more than I could have hoped for. I feel healthy, confident, and like myself again. His work is not only technically excellent, but truly thoughtful. A special thank you to Nurse Wendy, who took care of me through every post-op visit. She was kind, knowledgeable, and made recovery feel safe and personal. If you’re considering explant surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Gonzalez and his amazing team. They gave me my life back.

My Self Esteem is at an All Time High !

I underwent a septo/rhinoplasty and buccal fat removal surgery with Dr. Alan Gonzalez . I did my surgery on 3/26/2025 in his Cali, Colombia location.From the moment they took off the cast from my nose I was in love. I did have lots of swelling in my chin/ jaw area from the buccal fat removal so I needed a little more time with this. Once my swelling started going down in my cheeks /face I could tell the huge difference. It looked so much slimmer/ defined. I’ll see my final rhinoplasty results in a year and my buccal fat final results in 6 months. You must TRUST THE PROCESS!!! ( and also follow all pre / post op instructions) Honestly I was mostly scared going into surgery for my nose because I didn’t want to look worse or feared my new nose not fitting my face. I did a lot of research and looked at a lot of before/ after photos so I got over my fears. I decided to put my faith in Dr. Alan’s hands. I thank god that I crossed paths with him because I can’t imagine any other surgeon touching my face. He is a truly a skilled surgeon. The results speak for themselves. I am 1 month and a week post-op now. I’ve never felt so happy before in my 28 years of living. I am truly grateful for you doctor! Thank you for helping me achieve my esthetic goals. I will be back to post more pictures in 6months , and after a year for final results !
